Can I return fireworks I have not used?
No. Canadian Federal Law prohibits the resale of redistribution of fireworks once they have left Fireworks Superstore.

It is in the interest of public safety that we are unable to resell or redistribute fireworks. No returns or exchanges are permitted. All sales are final.
